An aggressive co-star in one of Gibson’s early narratives, “Johnny Mnemonic” (1981) and in his first novel, Neuromancer (1984), Molly finds herself at an intertextual, postfeminist, and post/transhuman crossroads. She emerges as a dangerous and empowered cyborg; without her, the rather weak Johnny, the male lead in the first story in which Molly appears, would have died. However, her condition makes her much more than a bodyguard. Through her role, Gibson also shows the hyperreal predictions of a dystopian world whose strongly naturalist context does not seem to offer this prototypical cyberpunk woman any outlet but a transhumanity for which she needs to update constantly her physical enhancements, inexorably related to her necessarily violent survival. 000107421 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H03-17R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-106855GB-I00 000107421 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000107421 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000107421 7102_ $$13004$$2345$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
